**Organic Chemistry Reaction: Anticipating Products**
*Question:*
What product(s) would you expect from the following reaction?
*Chemical Reaction:*
(CH₃)₂CHCH=CHCH₂CH₃
- Reagents: NBS, hv, CCl₄
- Reaction Type: Allylic Bromination
*Analysis:*
The given reaction involves N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS), light (hv), and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), which are typical conditions for allylic bromination.
**Explanation:**
1. **Reagents Used:**
- **NBS (N-Bromosuccinimide):** Used for selective bromination at the allylic position.
- **hv (Light):** Initiates the formation of free radicals needed for the reaction.
- **CCl₄ (Carbon Tetrachloride):** Solvent that stabilizes the reaction intermediates.
2. **Mechanism Overview:**
- This reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism where light induces the homolytic cleavage of the N-Br bond in NBS to form bromine radicals.
- The bromine radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from the allylic position (the carbon next to a double bond), forming an allylic radical.
- The allylic radical then reacts with Br₂ (formed from reaction with NBS) to give the allylic brominated product.
3. **Expected Product:**
- Bromination occurs at the allylic position of the compound, leading to a substitution of a hydrogen atom with a bromine atom at this position.

This educational summary provides an understanding of allylic bromination and the expected outcome of the given reaction under specific conditions.
